Risen Events

14 years ago, we lit our first Shabbat candles. Six kids, three countries, and multiple businesses later—we haven't stopped. Why? Because I discovered something revolutionary as an exhausted mom and entrepreneur: The world doesn't fall apart when I stop working for 24 hours. (In fact, it thrives.) Each Friday at sundown, our family declares: "You are God, and I am not." We put down our phones. We light the candles. We break bread together. We speak blessings over each other. And for one full day, we rest. In a culture obsessed with hustle, this weekly surrender has been our secret to sustainable growth. So many of you have asked about our Shabbat practice that I finally wrote it down: "The Weekly Reset" This isn't about religion—it's about rhythms. It's not about rules—it's about rest. And it's exactly why we're building the Scale with Stability Summit in April. Because you can't truly scale without a foundation of stability. Comment REST below for your free copy of our Shabbat guide.???? Let's build businesses that last without sacrificing the families we love. Because true success isn't measured by uninterrupted productivity. It's measured by sustainability. P.S. What helps YOU actually rest in a world that never stops?

Long-form business events are NOT the objective. Crafting a compressed client journey IS. Most agencies I work with have a 6-9 month sales cycle. Think about that. That's the length of time it takes to grow a human baby ?? ———————————————————— Just wrapped up a project with a digital marketing agency where we flipped this completely on its head. Their typical journey: 9 months of nurturing, countless touchpoints, endless follow-ups... We created a 2-day virtual event that: ??Showcased real client success stories ??Built genuine community connections ??Delivered massive value upfront ??Created natural FOMO The result? Multiple 5-figure contracts signed within 30 days of the event. ———————————————————— Here's what most get wrong about events: They focus on filling seats instead of crafting the perfect environment for decisions. Picture this: Your ideal client... ??Gets their burning questions answered live ??Connects with peers who've already succeeded ??Experiences your method firsthand Has a clear path to working with you ...all in 2 focused days / Quick tip: My favorite thing about running virtual events? Everyone's guard is down. They're in their comfy clothes, favorite mug in hand, fully present. / Don't waste time with surface-level networking. Create deep connections through shared learning experiences. / Pack your event with social proof. Let your successful clients do the selling for you. / Give them a reason to act NOW. Not in 9 months. Not next quarter. Now. The best part? Once you nail this format, it's repeatable. Scalable. Predictable. P.S. Curious about how to craft your own compressed client journey?

Bots talking to bots. AI writing for AI. Automated responses to automated messages. Sound dystopian? It's already happening ?? Here's the truth that nobody's talking about: ??AI adoption is creating a race to the bottom. Why? Because it's just. so. easy. But here's what fascinates me: The more our digital world fills with AI-generated noise, the more we CRAVE authentic human connection. Think about it: We're wired for belonging (Maslow knew this decades ago) We yearn to be truly seen and heard We're desperate for real experiences that make us feel alive This is why I'm betting BIG on two things right now: ??Events (virtual AND in-person) are about to explode (Picture this: I'm in Austria, running a global summit, connecting humans across continents - that's the future!) ??Your unique voice is going to become your most valuable asset (Because nobody wants to hang out in an empty internet full of bots talking to bots ??) The truth? We're not in the AI business. We're not even in the digital business. We're in the HUMAN business. Always have been. Always will be. And the businesses that understand this - that focus on creating genuine human experiences and fostering real connections - they're going to win. Big time. Because while AI can replicate content... It can't replicate connection. It can't manufacture meaning. It can't synthesize soul. That's where YOU come in. The future belongs to those who can blend the efficiency of AI with the irreplaceable magic of human connection. Remember: People don't follow bots. They follow hearts. They follow stories. They follow authentic voices that make them feel something real. Who's ready to be that voice? ?? (I have a special ticket to get thought-leadership training for you in the comments) PS.. thank you CKS - Creative Kingdom Solutions for actually getting a picture of me!!! It's not often that this mama gets her pic taken ?????? And thank you Kyle Balmer for a great chat and consult in this arena - it's a space we need to talk more about

In the beginning Was THE WORD... And that same power? It lives in YOU. Your voice can MOVE armies Shake FOUNDATIONS Transform GENERATIONS Got a message BURNING in your soul? But it's trapped inside? THIS is your moment THIS is your time THIS is your stage The world is WAITING For that voice inside you Step into your DESTINY Where GREATNESS awaits Will YOU answer the call? Join myself and Summer Dey next week.. comment below for a free ticket! ??

In an age where bots talk to bots, real human gatherings will become gold.

Okay, I literally can't believe what my friend Martin Fretwell just pulled off... ?? So picture this - my event partner Martin (who's like this GENIUS at connecting with people) starts casually mentioning he's been chatting with some folks for our virtual summit. And I'm like "cool cool, who'd you talk to?" you guys.. . He casually drops that Chris Cunningham one of the founding members of ClickUp You know... The $4 billion company that's basically taking over the world right now... and I use Clickup EVERY DAY! He is joining us! I think my jaw actually dropped. I use Clickup LITERALLY everyday... But wait, it gets better. Amanda Kahlow (the absolute legend who built and sold 6sense) is doing a session! One about her incredible founder journey and another about her new AI company that's going to blow your mind. And the list just. keeps. going. We've got CMOs who've driven BILLIONS in value, founders who've had massive exits, and leaders who are literally writing the playbook on B2B growth. Here's the thing though - I refused to let this be another boring virtual event. (We've all sat through enough of those, am I right? ??) So we turned it into this whole adventure thing. You get to pick your path: ??Want to create your own killer events? Got you. ??Need to nail your go-to-market? We've got that too. ??Managing big sponsorship budgets? Say no more. And because we're both a little crazy (in the best way), we're making the basic ticket FREE. Like... completely free. To learn from people who normally charge thousands for consulting. (I know, I know - our business friends think we're nuts. But when you have this level of expertise in one place, how could we not share it?) It's happening December 9-11, and yes, it's all virtual so you can join from wherever you're comfy. Want in on this? Comment below and I'll send you over a free ticket! P.S. - Seriously though, how did Martin get all these people to say yes?! ?? I'm still in shock.

I have never been so excited about an email... This AI tool absolutely surprised and delighted me today.. After juts signing up to try it for free this landed in my email box.. It scraped my information on LinkedIn Found my recent event And built me a custom tool specifically for me. In less than 20 minutes after I signed up This is the future. ???? Custom and personal apps I literally couldn't stop talking about to my husband was obviously just humouring me because he doesn't care a rats pajamas about this stuff.. But AHHH! have you received something like this before?! I loved it! (Credit goes to relevance ai )

I'm definitely more of a "newb" when it comes to the in person events scene. That's not yet my cup of tea.. but last weekend I had the opportunity to hold a workshop at the CKS - Creative Kingdom Solutions Summit And even got to put together an expo booth. Now I'm no expo booth profi - but I have a bit more experience after this weekend.. here are some things I learned and noticed: Event success! ... ??My booth was very unconventional but made for great conversations (I designed it around the idea of a meal table, because I often refer to virtual events as my form of online hospitality and also how I see God in the Bible - he prepares a table and invites everyone and then serves them himself.) ??lights made it lovely ??loved having a couple of my daughters with me... though one was much easier than the other (1 year olds are balls of toddling danger - you see those cameras behind me.. yeah they also had stairs and she LOVES stairs and technic stuff) Lessons learned: ??qr codes need to be way bigger ??instructions are necessary ??next time I'll only make one action.. the meal theme was cool.. but just too many options and there was already a lot going on How do you set up expo booths, or sponsor booths that set you and your business apart?

This is the prototype. Tomorrow I'm off to speak at an in person event I was invited to speak at about 600km away! with CKS - Creative Kingdom Solutions That means I'll also be packing up most of my kids to bring along as hubby is also traveling this weekend... not ideal.. but we have a pretty super opa in Germany willing to watch a handful of kids so I can do this.. And then I have a superhero daughter who is going to be my event nanny for baby ?? I'll be speaking about building an online business as a parent. ??Not for the faint of heart that one. And on top of my speaking I'll get a booth... so I wad trying to figure out what I should do for both my personal brand and our agency Risen Events I'm not very typical or traditional. Never had a booth before. So I'm going to play with the concept of a meal. This was my prototype test on my floor.. just with the bare basic idea while i figure out what to print out. let's see how the real one turns out! Stay tuned...
